NEW YORK, April 1T will be a revela-
ton to many, says the World this morn
ing, to learn that for the last ten years of
his life, and up 10 within very short
time before his death, the late John Kelly
was ambitious to rank with those who
were recognized as authors of standard
works on American politics. With this
purpose in view, he had accumulated
large quantity OF material, covering g
period of nearly thirty years of an active
public career and embracing manypersOnaI
"reminiscences and sketches Of men prOmi-
nent in political life. 1t Was his purpose
to have put this material in shape for
publication under some such title as
"Half Century of American Politics.
but the rapid and exciting events of
1884, terminating in his illness and
death in 1885, made this forever impossi-
BILE. The World goes on 10 say that
as result of a visit TO Mexico
Mr.. Kelly wrote a history of
New Spain which has never been
published. That editorials in the Star in
l880-'82 were from his pen, that ne wrote
gOssipy letters TO his paper from Saratoga
over the name "Jno. Mcnamara" and
made biographical sketches, drawn with
clear and fOrcible although unpublished
hand, of such men as Tweed, MOrrisey,
Wicksbam, Samuel J Tflden, John Fox,
Richard Connolly, William R. Grace,
Hubert o. Thompson, Watson Woodward
Genet, and minor satellites CT the corrupt
ring that fell in 1872 before the assaults
Of the Democratic refOrmers with whom
Mr. Kelly was then actively allied. Mr.
Kelly was particularly sensitive on the
subject of the popular idea in regard tt
the iIliteracy Of rammany nall. and his
work was largely with view to the coun-
terQCti0n Of the notion.
